Fantastic work! Gonna look great when it's all welded and finished. Instead of mucking about with the brake line, rotor and your vise, I think I might have taken a piece of cardboard and traced out the bottom of the tail light housing curve and used that as a template to jigsaw the shape out of a piece of 2 x 10 lumber or similar to create a shaping buck around which to bend your rod. It would make a nice tool (and who doesn't like more tools...) to provide consistency and repeatability as compared to your malleable hard brake line. Instead of the dimensional lumber, you could use some 3/4 and 1/4 inch thick plywood. Cut one 1/4" and two 3/4" pieces with the same curve profile, and then stack them together with the 1/4" piece in the middle and set back a bit to make sort of a trough to hold the rod a bit more steady when bending it. Just a couple ideas if you need to make any more of those filler rod pieces. Looking forward to how this all works out. Cheers.
Chapau ( hats off! ) to these projects: how you dive in, modify , improve, personalize and teach all at the same time. Everything is looking quite cool. Be wary of the tail lights the first time I removed mine after 130,000 miles there was a lot of big debris ON TOP of the tail-lamp-housing rocks and pebbles the rear tires will toss crap at them all day long, I don't want to see lovely 3-D printed parts getting thrashed by road debris,. just sayin'.
What a wonderful time we are in where we have our own concept for our car that will make it stand out from ALL those other cars AND have places where the part can be made -and in the end you are part of that finished product on your car!! The tail lights that your design guy thought up are not just on paper, there are now plastic parts on your car.

Ha ha the literal German-English translation of 'Lauern teile' is "parts lurk" (credit: Google Translate, but with the words transposed 'Teile lauern')! I'm sure the intent for the name was something closer to a cool German name for 'parts store' ('teile' can be interpreted as parts, although Google Translate will also tell you it means 'share'). Anyway the lights look cool :)
Certainly a different look. 😊 Maybe whilst you're doing this make the frames attach from the rear so it makes the lights more serviceable cos once the steel is welded in place you won't be able to get to the mounting points if teh frames or lights ever get damaged 😉
Been watching since the beginning, I can’t wait to see this finished. Its all coming together now, my biggest wonder was how you were going to do the lights, similar to the render. Great job it looks amazing you deserve way more views and subs for this build.
High Five! Those are going to be AMAZEBALLS!!!! I had one question though, if needed for servicing will you be able to remove the skeleton once everything is welded in place? Have a great week!
Second comment! Love the content. I think the company name is a German pun; Teile (pronounced 'taileh') is German for parts. Lauern is German for lurking/spying.
High Five from London Ontario Canada. I have been watching this build since the beginning, VERY intrigued!! Found you by watching Home Built By Jeff. I think it's very cool how you builders support each other by wearing swag..."Make The Noise". I love what you're doing, bringing in some modern technology to a car that really could use it! Just a though with your tail lights, do you need the flimsy brackets? If you are welding the tail light panel to the car, why not attach the light sto that new metal? Maybe the housing and lens could be oversized and "sandwich" the body panel by screwing together? Anyway, keep up the amazing work, your channel helps me wind down and dream of doing a project like this myself...someday...LOL!!
Its german, guess to fit being for Porsche. Lauern is to lurk or lie in wait. Teile is parts or sections.. So i guess a translation could be Lurking Parts
Not sure if I'm a fan of Your lights yet ¿ Now that you got that metal tacked on there flush. How are you gonna get the lights out? Looks like with your permanent body work you're gonna have to go through the back to service the lights now? Definitely picked my interest with the build.
Nice work so high five from the Netherlands! One question: can the lights be screwed in sufficiently tight to prevent them to vibrate loose during driving?
The light fittings look cool 😎 I think you could have fabricated the trim better yourself ? Unless you are getting these as prototype freebies! All good 👍
Are you referring to the welding? If so...I'm using a Fitzee trick here. You use the tip of the welder to block out the flash of the spot weld. Like an eclipse. :)
Has anyone been able to make contact with this company? When I called the number listed on the website the person who answered told me I had the wrong number and there has been no response to my emails.
3D printing is definitely a game changer. Coming together nicely mate.

those 3D printed brackets are interesting, sort of a deconstructed version of lauernteile's modern R taillights.
Yea, something like that! Reimagined.
Had a very similar idea, looks very good.

Taillights look cool, really like the updated 911R look.
Looks sweet Michael.Can't wait to see when the metal is body coloured and you see how the lights stand alone. Nice one
what a great channel. Subscribed!
Amazing work. You living my dream. Building your porsche on your own...
nice, the tail lights look a litle bit "ferrarish"
Or....911R'ish. :)
I wasn’t sure about those lights when you first showed them, but they look great. It will look very clean when it’s all done.
Those are some pretty cool tail lights!
Looking real good Bro, Nice work

Yessir! It will all be reversible.
Honestly, I'm a OEM tail lights kinda guy, but the work you're putting into these is pretty cool I must admit!
ain't nothing OEM about this build. :)
@@rennch. right, gotta go full blasphemy! Haha
Yeah those spacers made the lights stick out to far, looking great now.

Bingo...:) I think you're the first person to get this, thunderbeard

Very cool. Not exactly what I was expecting from the title. 🙁
Thought you might be printing yourself
Not sure if I'm a fan of Your lights yet ¿ Now that you got that metal tacked on there flush. How are you gonna get the lights out? Looks like with your permanent body work you're gonna have to go through the back to service the lights now? Definitely picked my interest with the build.
As I showed in the video, they screw into the receptacles.
Nice work so high five from the Netherlands!

Great video thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
how do u service the light?
👍
The light fittings look cool 😎 I think you could have fabricated the trim better yourself ? Unless you are getting these as prototype freebies! All good 👍
which trim are you referring to?
Watch your eyes!
Are you referring to the welding? If so...I'm using a Fitzee trick here. You use the tip of the welder to block out the flash of the spot weld. Like an eclipse. :)
👍👍
I'm not a fan of the singer lights and these don't look any better, sorry. I'm not sure why you want round lights but if you do they need to be flush.
That's ok! You don't have to love it! I appreciate you watching either way!
@@rennch. I love watching it, ehanks for the content...

lauernteile.com? I will reach out and see if I can connect with him.
First comment😀 great job Mike, very interesting.
Thanks!
Damm Stupid 18 wheeler tail light!!
😂😂
🍺👍🏻👏
2 words bro! Slip roller
What’s that?
@@rennch.
It allows you a bend profile without kinks... Ffwd to the end

Awesome work Mike you make me wanna get back out there and keep on working on my car 😭🤣👍
Get you some!
